What are the main services of the center?
We offer a wide range of aesthetic and reconstructive operations at our private hospital. Our operating block and hospital wing are equipped with modern technology to ensure the best possible service for patients. We perform breast augmentation, reduction, and lift, facial and body contouring operations, including liposuction and abdominoplasty. Additionally, we offer various non-surgical procedures, such as botulinum toxin and filler injections, which are only administered by certified doctors in our clinic.
What are the trends in plastic and aesthetic surgery, and what does the future hold?
Aesthetic surgery is increasingly moving towards natural results. Patients’ expectations have become more informed – they prefer a fresher and more youthful appearance rather than drastic changes. Faster recovery and minimally invasive methods are also in focus.
How is the most suitable procedure chosen for a patient?
Every patient is unique, so we always start with a consultation where we discuss expectations and possibilities. We want people to make an informed and well-considered decision. Our team provides honest feedback and recommends solutions that suit the patient’s facial or body shape and lifestyle. We also always emphasize post-operative care, which plays a major role in the quality of the results.
What would you say to those considering plastic surgery but feeling fearful?
This is completely understandable! Every surgical intervention is a big step and an important decision. Therefore, we always recommend coming for a consultation first, where all questions can be discussed. In our clinic, safety, professionalism, and patient well-being are always paramount. If the decision is well-considered and feelings about the procedure are positive, the results are usually excellent and improve the quality of life.
Kotka Private Hospital’s Plastic Surgery Center has many international patients. Why do they come here?
The reputation of Estonian plastic surgery is extremely good worldwide. We have highly qualified specialists, modern technologies, and the price-to-quality ratio is attractive to many foreigners. Additionally, our international patients appreciate the personalized approach and discretion.
What is your most personally rewarding moment at work?
Patients often say that they feel like themselves again or that their quality of life has significantly improved. This is the charm and greatest meaning of plastic surgery.
